the angry elf that you said walked out of a cw show is robbie amell, stephen amell's cousin (green arow) and robbie was also in a season of the flash. so technically, he did walk out of a cw show. xD
I've always hated sword and sorcery stuff... until Game of Thrones sucked me in. But everything is "Zena: Warrior Princess"... It's all just WB grade actors with bad wigs, larping in the woods. I can't take another chick waving her hands around so some CGI guy can add "glowy magic" coming from her hands. I'm glad horses and little people are getting work, I guess. It's not fully the same genre, but Carnival Row seems pretty good...
